Survival: King Picking Game

Put this aside for now.

There seems to be no problem with the Tono family for the time being.

Although I haven't had any contact with the current head of the Tono family, since none of the three male family members "Tono Shiki", "Tono Shiki" and "Tono Shinhisa" have ever made an appearance, Li Pingan probably guessed What is the "time" now.

In addition, contact with local schools.It seems that Ciel, who was disguised as an ordinary student...should not have come to Misaki Town, or at least there would be traces suggesting magic.

"Then, it's time to meet Miss Orange."

It just so happens that now is the most leisurely time.

Neither Roa, the snake of Akasha, nor Shiki Tono, the descendant of Nanaya Kafa, have yet to come to Misaki Town.

——The gears of fate have not started rolling yet.

The story before him has not even opened a single page.

Just wait.

It would be better to take this opportunity to "get to know" more girls in this world.

Coincidentally, under the witness of the central system, Aozaki Chengzi, who signed a contract with him and was supposed to be unable to resist, was a good target.

……

"No, don't be so troublesome."

However, Aoko Aozaki shook his head and said softly.

In her beautiful blue pupils, there was a strange dark color, which seemed to contain some kind of strange and complicated emotions.

While saying that,

The corners of the magician's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a dark smile.

——“Due to various reasons, I made a more convenient decision without authorization. Please forgive me.”

While talking, Aozaki Aoko turned around and picked up a suitcase from behind.

Because when she rushed in before, after sitting down, the suitcase was randomly placed behind the door.

There was a shadowed area of ​​the door as cover, and Li Pingan didn't notice it at the first time.

...the style of the box is too large.And it seems to be stuffed full of something inside, so it should be very heavy.

Although Miss Magician was very light, she put the box in front of Li Pingan lightly with her slender and white arms.

"bump!"

When it collided with the ground, there was a heavy muffled sound.

"Uh...what is this?"

Li Pingan asked casually, his eyes swept across the surface of the box at the same time.

Black leather wrapped in red wood.Simple style.It looks like it was handcrafted by artisans in the last century.There is also a seal in black and white on it.

...It feels a little familiar.

After about two or three seconds, the long-sleeping memory emerged from his mind.

——After all, in Li Pingan's subjective time, several years have passed, and it is not easy to remember such tiny details.

"Isn't this...an orange thing?"

The last time he came to visit Buzi City, it was for "Magic Eye Kill".At that time, Li Pingan visited the magic workshop of the puppet user Aozaki Touko, and was later attacked by a certain magician.

In Orange's magic workshop, he has seen many similar boxes.According to Chengzi himself, different kinds of magic have been used to seal the inside, all of which are dolls, and occasionally there are familiars.

For example, the "demon" called "Schrödinger's cat" is packed in a similar box.

"What's in there?"

Aoko Aozaki tapped her fair chin with her fingers, and the smile on her face became more intense.

"Of course, it's just as you guessed. Inside is... some of my sister's works. And, it is probably her most satisfying work so far. My sister will dedicate 'this' to you as a gift. How, Very sincere, right?"

...That's right.

Li Pingan understood.

However, dolls and the like seemed to be of no use to him.After all, it's not a puppet...

"bump."

at this time.

The suitcase, which was standing firmly on the ground, suddenly shook for no reason.

Not the wind.

But...

"Hey, it's not that I heard wrong..."

Li Pingan heard Asakami Fujino's subconscious murmur behind him.

"There seems to be some noise coming from that box?"
